“He’s in a downward spiral that’s rapidly gaining speed.”

Yeah, he owns the worlds largest auto company, largest rocket company, and just threw down $40 billion to buy the worlds biggest social media company.

Dude is in dire straights indeed.

Not the largest car company, just the one with the highest price tag. VW prob makes more cars in a month than Tesla makes in a year.

Seems to be more like 2 months (VW's monthly rate is about 700,000 and Tesla's yearly rate about 1.2M).

No, he doesn't. That would be Volkswagen.

His auto company is far from the largest. Its stock market value may be the highest (and overvalued). But there is a world of difference.

Hmm.. - not the world's largest auto company by a long shot. not even in the top 10. - had to borrow billions (at least 13B) from banks to buy twitter (banks that now want out) - twitter not remotely the biggest social media company in the world. again.. likely not even in the top 10.

username is surely parody.
